Nursing informatics combines nursing science with computer science together with information processing theory and technology.  

   The American Nurses Association definition came out in October 2001 as... 

  “Nursing Informatics is a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice.  Nursing informatics facilitates the integration of data, information and knowledge to support patients, nurses and other providers in their decision-making in all roles and settings.  This support is accomplished through the use of information structures, information processes, and information technology.” 

 (ANA Scope and Standards of Nursing Informatics Practice, 2001, pg vii)
